(by Andrea Pinto) Rousseau, the company's platform Davide #Casaleggio started the yellow-red government, it's not a joke. Luigi Di Maio had said the day before that the outcome of the vote would be decisive for the fate of the alliance with the Pd. Institutions, party leaders, citizens, the international press, in short, everyone has been waiting for the result of the online voting of those registered on the platform. After an hour and a half delay the verdict on the fate of Italy, the 79,3 per cent voted in favor of the yellow-red government with Giuseppe Conte as premier.
The reason for the delay? The compilation of the minutes by the notary and the certification, by a third-party IT company, of the reliability of the hardware and software systems of the Rousseau Platform. Apparently no one believed this version, also because a press conference was scheduled by Luigi Di Maio at 18.30 and at 18.45 one of the Pd. An employee of Casaleggio left the gate and reassured the press: "technical reasons", The result will appear in minutes on The Star Blog. Everyone then clicked on the Blog, crashing the site. After a few minutes the message of the victory of "Yes".
Davide Casaleggio then spoke after Luigi DI Maio: “IToday's voting is a great example of digital citizenship. We are pioneers: even the SPD in Germany for its government contract has had its members vote even if by post. We have not recorded attacks. Those who have reported us are all denied ». The so-called "fake hackers".
Some of Rousseau said there had been an attack in late August but that it had been detected and rendered harmless.
"To someone the system has asked for the SMS to confirm the identity to others not. I fear there is a little something to be reviewed about the concept of direct democracy"Senator Elena Fattori writes on Facebook.
"Of course a sample of registered 79.634 is representative, because it brings together people from many cultural, social and economic backgrounds", Says Enrica Sabatini of the Rousseau Association.
The point is that a country hung for nine hours at the outcome of a vote made on a private platform. Direct democracy, exercised by less than 100 thousand people? It is all beautiful and futuristic, however there are many doubts that lie in our midst that, with hand polls, we would have preferred to vote for a new parliament and with a true democracy decree a majority certified by the vote of those who hold sovereignty in Italy.
In essence, digital democracy has replaced the institutions. Gianroberto Casaleggio already said about 10 years ago that the Rousseau Platform would one day decide the fate of Italy.
Today Giuseppe Conte, the tightrope walker, will dissolve the reserve to the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella with the presentation of the team of ministers. On Thursday the oath and Friday the vote of confidence.
